Roasted Broccoli with Cheese Sauce

Roasting does unbelievably tasty things to broccoli. It can turn someone who’s on the fence about it into a broccoli devotee. Smothering it in a hot, cheesy sauce with sharp cheddar and a touch of Parmesan doesn’t hurt either. It’s like insurance.

To make sure every last broccoli floret gets eaten. It will. Trust me. Your family will be tripping over each other to get to it. You’ll wish you made more.

And if by some crazy, off-the-wall chance they don’t?

You might secretly be glad.

You might, after taste-testing, decide to not even serve it to them.

I might have done that. Oops. I shot these pictures and promptly devoured it like a starving wolf in the dead of winter. It was like I never tasted anything so good before in my life.
